What these words mean3
- Star ratings
- CMS rates some kinds of place from 1 to 5 stars, more stars meaning better on CMS’s own measures for that kind: for a nursing home, its health inspections, staffing and quality measures. A rating is CMS’s summary of those measures; it doesn’t promise good care. Source: CMS, Care Compare and the Five-Star Quality Rating System.
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.

Participate In Care, Discontinue/Refuse Treatment
The inspectors’ words, 481 words
“PR-PARTICIPATE IN CARE;DISC/REFUSE TX CFR(s): 494.70(a)(5) The patient has the right to- (5) Be informed about and participate, if desired, in all aspects of his or her care, and be informed of the right to refuse treatment, to discontinue treatment, and to refuse to participate in experimental research; This Standard is not met as evidenced by: 36734 Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to inform a patient about the risks and benefits of an Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agent (ESA) for 3 of 3 sampled patients (Patients #1, #2, and #3). The findings included: Review of the facility’s policy, Special Considerations: Epogen, dated 02/06/23, documented: “The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance regarding Epogen (medication to increase red blood cells) administration. Indications: Anemia associated with chronic kidney disease and patients on dialysis. Contraindications: Contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, serious or severe allergic reaction to Epogen or pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) that begins after treatment with an ESA. Control hypertension prior to and during treatment within ESA. ESA use increases the risk for seizures in patients with chronic kidney disease; monitor patients for changes in seizure frequency or premonitory symptoms. Patient may need additional heparin to prevent clotting during dialysis treatments. In clinical studies, use of ESA’s shortened overall survival and/or increased risk of tumor progression or recurrence in patients with certain cancers. Patient teaching: Provide “Medication Guide Epogen” to patient prior to treatment. Patients and or care partners who will administer Epogen in the home setting will have training and competency documented in the medical record.” 1. Record review revealed Patient #1 was admitted to the facility on 04/28/23 for treatment. A review of Patient #1’s orders revealed an order for Epogen (an ESA) dated 06/21/24 -06/20/25. Further review of Patient #1’s records did not reveal any documentation that the patient received any education of the risks and benefits of the medication. 2. Record review revealed Patient #2 was admitted to the facility on 11/08/24 for treatment. A review of Patient #2’s orders revealed an order for an ESA dated 11/09/24 -11/08/25. Further review of Patient #2’s records did not reveal any documentation that the patient received any education of the risks and benefits of the medication. 3. Record review revealed Patient #3 was admitted to the facility on 03/06/24 for treatment. A review of Patient #3’s orders revealed an order for an ESA dated 03/04/25 -03/03/26. Further review of Patient #3’s records did not reveal any documentation that the patient received any education of the risks and benefits of the medication. An interview was conducted with the Clinical Manager (CM) on 05/05/25 at 3:00 PM. The CM stated before a patient is started on an ESA for anemia protocol, they have to be educated on the risks and benefits. The patients then sign an ESA Risks and Benefits Acknowledgement form. The CM acknowledged the above.”
